Exploring Dynamics of Abundant Dolphin Populations Under Uncertainty
Our co-founder Dr. Erin Ashe’s latest publication, Minding the Data-gap Trap, has been published in Frontiers in Marine Science.
Yes, we must focus on endangered species, but we mustn’t lose sight of the apparently common species that are under the radar. We risk losing those species through neglect and apathy. Biodiversity conservation needs to protect the abundant species that hold ecosystems together, and also the rare species we can’t afford to lose. Turns out, you can use what you know about basic life-history of data-poor species, and the threats they face, to prioritize species for research funding and management actions.
